00:00Alright, thank you everyone.
00:02There's another question.
00:0410,000 students have not attended the SPMM, how long will it take?
00:09I remember it like this.
00:11The examination is still ongoing, ladies and gentlemen.
00:14Until February 6th.
00:16So the number that was announced is still not mature.
00:21So we ask for time until February 6th
00:24for us to formulate and make sure
00:27all the processes related to the presence of our children
00:31can be concluded more accurately.
00:35So give us time until the SPMM is over
00:38and we are doing everything
00:41in terms of action,
00:43in terms of
00:46the process to ensure that these children come to the examination,
00:50especially the SPMM examination.
00:52Okay, next question.
00:55Actually, this action has been going on for a year.
01:02This is not the first time we have taken action during the SPMM.
01:05No, it is a process that has been going on for a year.
01:07Make sure they attend.
01:08Including, among other things, the visitation program
01:11that we do with the community
01:14and parents.
01:15But perhaps today I take this opportunity
01:18to remind parents
01:21to also take responsibility
01:23regarding the presence of these children.
01:25The SPMM is very important.
01:27This is their last examination at school,
01:30in their school level.
01:33So we ask parents too, together with us,
01:36to ensure that
01:38this issue of presence can be dealt with together.
01:42In Malaysia,
01:43we already have a lot of data.
01:45We also have
01:48JPN's visitation programs.
01:51The regional director has also told us
01:53all the actions that have been taken.
01:56And that is why I think
01:57for the parliamentary session that will come,
01:59another initiative from the Malaysian Department of Education
02:02is to raise
02:05the basis of compulsory education in secondary schools.
02:07So we hope that all of these
02:09are steps that we can implement
02:12as well as possible
02:14to address issues related to
02:16presence, discrimination,
02:18and also to improve the quality of education in the country.
02:21So please give us some time
02:22to make a conclusion regarding this issue of presence
02:25until the last paper,
02:27SPMM's last paper, God willing.
